Foss-Tin-Eyebone
they are most likely to exploit
they are most likely to cause tensions
they speak ill of him
they wish not to be happy
that they continue to divide their loyalties
against him.
then those they wishes he'd favor
would be his enemy to undermine his
love aspirations
they applaud their successes so that
he will be unraveled and
less likely to see reason to
love again
his tomorrow's are the subjects
of their togetherness
that they see profit in keeping him single
they create complications with barriers
they refuse to see that his happiness is the key to
his ambition
even him calm is words to speak
that they act like witches
and are sorceresses who are mean
and unkind
rank him low
and his mind will be less likely to seek relationships
and he will not aspire above his rank as person
kind the smiles of witches
the frown of men do tell
his anger and frustration
speaks of his eagerness
to a world were woman hast
madest unkind
they value his wealth with his work-keyness
that the sources of his labors
are cashed to spend
they refuse to see that other are watching them
and the trapps and plans they make
will be turn straight back at them
